Yeah...he could pull out the cocky attitude that is Hawkeye. I hope they kinda go the Ultimates route, visually speaking, for Hawkeye.

Although this is veering into DC territory, if Danny Trejo were to turn the role down, I think this guy'd make an awesome Lobo. And not cos of his Gladiator name.

Aaron Eckhart could even be a good Hank Pym (Giant Man/Ant Man), because he's definitely good at playing a mysogynist (In the Company of Men).

It's not like Chris Reeve was burning up the screen before Superman. Also there have been a few films out lately that have done pretty well without the big names.

For some reason, he reminds me of early Bill Pullman with his on-screen intensity.

at 5'11", Christopher Egan is a little short, but he's got the looks to play Steve Rogers.

You know what...it just hit me, after so many times it's been said here.
MAYBE Pitt could be Cap. He sure as hell has the eyes for it. Looking at his eyes, specifically in the BASTERDS 1st trailer, alone made me think...This man could really bring the naiveness, sadness, and etc. The stuff that's in Cap's eyes at times. BUT his age is the issue. I mean...I'm not a fan of digital deaging, thank you X3 and Wolverine, though Ben Button was amazing. I don't want to see digital facelift in a Cap film. Cap in WWII was in his 20s. Pitt could easily pull off the Full on Modern Adult that Cap is (actually was...maybe, still haven't readReborn) now. Maybe with come great looking physical make up it can be pulled off with great confidence. I don't doubt Pitt's acting, it's great stuff to look at. He's a damn fine union of mainstream and artistic film acting.

Personally, I would prefer an older established actor like Damon or Pitt in the role to match Downey, et al. Cap's movie origin could be tweaked where he's older when injected with the serum. It's worked before with Downey, Norton, and Keaton.

This guy is very good on True Blood. I think he could do it. Either him or Jon Hamm.

I know he already played Johnny Storm, but I think Chris Evans could pull this off.
